drag boats
Speed competition vessels
Drag boats are high-powered racing boats designed for straight-line speed competitions on water, analogous to drag racing on land.
These vessels compete in pairs down a measured course, typically a quarter mile, with some classes reaching speeds over 250 mph.
The term covers various categories from modified outboards to top fuel hydros: We watched the drag boats tear down the river at the nationals.
